这一场焦点大战，两支球队都没有丝毫保留，瓜迪奥拉在主场摆出了4-2-3-1的阵型刘林，埃德森作为首发门将登场，格瓦迪奥尔、阿坎吉、迪亚斯和沃克四人坐镇后防，京多安则和罗德里搭档双后腰，多库、贝尔纳多席尔瓦和萨维尼奥在中场一字排开，单箭头依旧是哈兰德。
来到梦魇之地的阿森纳，则沿用了4-3-3的体系，拉亚首发为枪手镇守龙门，新援卡拉菲奥里和加布里埃尔、萨利巴、廷伯组成了四后卫的防守体系，萨卡、托马斯、赖斯和马丁内利坐镇中场，双箭头则是哈弗茨搭档特罗萨德。
比赛正式开打后，双方就开始了对攻大战，第9分钟曼城在主场取得领先，萨维尼奥送出直塞，哈兰德获得单刀机会，面对拉亚低射建功，挪威魔人打进了加盟曼城后的第100粒进球，帮助蓝月军团取得了1-0的领先，不过主场球迷并没有高兴太久，第22分钟首次先发的卡拉菲奥里在大禁区前沿，轰出一记世界波，洞穿了埃德森的十指关，将比分追至1平。
士气大振的阿森纳，在半场比赛结束前，利用角球机会，由加布里埃尔头槌建功，将比分反超为了2-1，但是在上半场的伤停补时阶段最后时刻，特罗萨德在主裁判响哨后将球踢走，吃到了本场比赛第二张黄牌被罚下场，让枪手客场陷入少一人作战的不利处境。
比赛重新开打之后，阿尔特塔做出换人调整，用本怀特替换下了萨卡，将阵型变为五后卫，想要增加防守的强度，但人数占优的曼城，直接开启了对阿森纳的围攻，二十分钟内狂射10脚，让客队门前风声鹤唳，不过拉亚的出色发挥，让曼城一次次无功而返。
第69分钟瓜迪奥拉用射术更加精湛的福登换下多库，让球队进攻端多一个稳定的终结点，直到第98分钟，曼城才利用战术角球机会，撕开了阿森纳的铁桶阵，斯通斯的绝平进球，让曼城避免了赛季首败，2-2逼平阿森纳。
在艰难主场逼平阿森纳之后，曼城超越利物浦，重新登上了积分榜第一的宝座刘林，这一个赛季，蓝月军团想要卫冕，将遇到前所未有的挑战，想要实现目标，必须做好困难的准备，并且拿出更好的发挥！
